Strong Finish Despite Mid-Race Drop Paul Lavine completed the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon with a total time of 1:47:37, clocking in an average pace of 8:12 min/mile. Paul positioned 725th out of 6546 participants overall, and 81st in the male 35-39 division. Notable splits include a strong start with an 8:02 min/mile at mile 2, and an impressive 7:34 min/mile at mile 13. This final push picked up the pace from a slower mid-race. Although the last year's Boulderthon performance was faster at 1:44:15, with a pace of 7:57 min/mile, there were notable positive aspects in this race. The increase in total participants compared to the previous year shows a heightened competitive environment. A consistent early pace suggests potential for even stronger pacing strategy across the later miles. Focus on maintaining energy levels during the middle section of the race could lead to an improved finish time. Overall, a commendable race effort with excellent final mile execution.
